Green Thumb

Nathan and I attempt to keep a nice looking yard, however, in my opinion, we fail miserably. Of course I'm comparing my yard to my mother's yard, which isn't a fair comparison because she is a Master Gardener and spends hours working in her garden. Nathan and I are very good at growing one thing... weeds! Lots of them! All kinds! All sizes! They're taking over the grass, the flower beds, the vegetable garden, the front walkway, the dog run, you name it, we've got a weed growing there! We have one weed by our woodpile that is now over 2 ft. tall and draping over the lawn. Nathan walks over to the weed on Sunday and comments on how it looks a lot like a tomato plant. Then we notice, the weed is growing small green tomatoes. Yup, that's right! I may not have a green thumb, but I'll have you know that my weeds are capable of growing tomatoes! HA, beat that, Mom!

The sad thing is, I planted 2 tomato plants in the vegetable garden 2 months ago, and they aren't producing a darn thing.
